    Conor McGregor isn't even club fighter level, he's 0-0 with no real boxing experience.

    I can't even tell you how mad I am that people seriously think he would have even 1% chance against Mayweather. Conor is the biggest fraud in the history of combat sports. He is basically a con artist.

    For years, MMA fans were talking non stop about Ronda vs Floyd, why not have some payback here and start with a similar ridiculous scenario.

    Claressa is bigger and heavier than Conor and seems to have better boxing fundamentals. She would be smart enough not to walk into a left hand.

    Here she spars with a southpaw of Conor's size:

    lol Her "sparring partner" must have just walked in the gym off the street.

    Conor probably isn't any better. He's a flat footed slow plodder who relies on his opponents throwing wild right overhands from miles away to land his counters. He doesn't even have a jab.

    I haven't seen McGregor fight but with any type of extended boxing training, he should be better than that guy Shields was in the ring with. Also, I doubt McGregor would be as timid as that guy Shields was sparring with and would go right after her and I doubt her punches would have as much impact on him as his on her..

    Conor is slow as molasses, him plodding forward towards Claressa wouldn't have any effect.

    This I agree with but I still would pick McGregor over Shields.

    Do you think Charlie Z would be a live dog against Conor?

    His timing is good though. He throws that long left so relaxed

    A few takeaways, her sparring partner isn't very good,
    it also appears that he's not doing much anyway.

    That being said, Having seen Connor actually spar
    a lower level boxing talent (can't recall who right now),
    he was getting pasted. Anyone who takes a Floyd/Mcgregor
    boxing match serious should be shot.
